Questions 1 - 4 refer to the following email.

To: Walter Davis

From: Charles Allen

Sent: January 29, 2008

Subject: Figures from Santa Rosa

Hi Walter,

I'm sure you're going to be more than pleased / with these first official figures from our Santa Rosa mine in South America.

The output is exceeding our predictions.

Northern Mines Santa Rosa

(4th quarter) (4th quarter)

Gold (oz) 6,600 7,300

Silver (oz) 3,200 5,900

Copper (tonnes) 1,800 1,500

Zinc (tonnes) 3,300 4,100

Output is far above the projected amounts made / before we purchased the Santa Rosa mine in Honduras. What's more is / that gold, silver, and zinc from Santa Rosa / have topped the quarterly average of our domestic Northern Mines.

We know that we posted strong 4th quarter earnings. Tomorrow Lucy Smith will present a comprehensive report [outlining the impact Santa Rosa had on Sheen Mining's overall revenues for 2007]. We expect everyone to be in attendance.

If there's anything you'd like to discuss / before tomorrow's meeting, give me a call.

Charles

4월은 잔인한 달

4월은 잔인한 달
죽은 땅에서 라일락을 키워내고
기억과 욕망을 뒤섞고
봄비로 잠든 뿌리를 뒤흔든다.
차라리 겨울에 우리는 따뜻했다.
망각의 눈이 대지를 덮고...

미주알 고주알 nitty-gritty

A : 부부 사이에 비밀이 없어야 겠죠?
     A married couple shouldn't keep anything from each other,
     right?

B : 글쎄. 뭐, 미주알 고주알 다 이야기 할 필요는 없지 않을까요?
      I'm not sure. But they don't exactly have to tell each other
      all the nitty-gritty details, do they?

유람선 (Excursion Ships)

	빌, 한강에 가보셨어요? Bill, have you ever been to the Han river?

	전철에서나 택시를 타고 지나가면서만 봤습니다. I've seen it from the subway, and from just passing by in a taxi.

	그럼 유람선을 보셨겠네요? Did you happen to notice the excursion ship?

	한강에 유람선이 있나요?

Modern Couples Prefer Blogging to Dating

1) We live in the age of high-tech computers and the Internet, and even love has gone online. In fact, some couples are finding Internet romance to be the most fulfilling type of romance there is. Instead of sitting across from one another at a cafe to discuss current issues, personal problems, or the weather, more couples are communicating, directly or indirectly, via their computers.

2) "Realizing that communicating via typing was far more comfortable, we decided to conduct our date without speaking," U.S. singer Amanda Palmer said. "We traded iPod headphones back and forth and typed and ordered beer and wine and more food. The waitress thought we were crazy." Palmer explained that anything she or her date had to say was transmitted through their laptop computer.

3) Couple-surfing is a new trend that has popped up in the Internet dating world. Couple surfing can be described as "netaholics" or "infomaniacs" who enjoy sitting down together to browse the web. The once solitary activity has turned into an intimate, shared one, with each web surfer being able to effectively communicate with the other without uttering a word. (중략)
